Victoria Spartz not seeking re-election

[manifest destiny]

My guess is more money at an easier job. Probably found her new gig via connections made while in DC.

Good God woman, get it together... You're a member of Congress for goodness sake.

Good riddance.

Can we not elect a dame this time around? Its been in the crapper since Danny B retired in 2013.

Spartz warns McCarthy she may seek reelection after all: 'My party is failing the people'

Spartz was one of a handful of Republicans who initially resisted McCarthy's rise to the speakership, though she supported him in the 12th round of voting during the leadership contest.

She must have gotten what she needed.

Or got more than she planned on. They count on the honest politicians giving up and going home.


And yes, I know "honest politician" is a contradiction of terms.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Thats why you call them a "more honest politician"

She's not wrong.

...."I do need to regroup because I think my party is failing the people,"

This is probably covered elsewhere but is she giving any kind of a cohesive answer as to why she is opposing Jordan?

I believe she ended up voting for him on one of the last couple votes?

I liked her to start with, but I've given up on her. I think the Ukraine thing gave her way too much attention that went to her head. Now her crazy has been exposed.

Who will we replace her with?

I hope Kent Abernathy runs again for the 5th.

Changed her mind?

Curious. Politics aside, I cannot stand the pitch of her voice.

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

Other gig wasn't going to have the payout she was expecting? I feel sorry for you guys in her district. More screeching more babbling...

She's OK when she is calm. But when she gets the slightest big "excited" and she starts pitching up, I have to turn the radio to the all Yoko Ono all the time station to listen to something more pleasant.

That's my rep. I've supported her for the last two cycles, but I wouldn't mind moving on here. Not sure what the talent pool is like. We have some interesting usuals that like to run for races, but we'll see.

She's already connected to Ukraine. That's where she's from.

She is my rep, both from her time in the State Senate to her time as a US rep. She's represented her districts and constituents well as far as I'm concerned. She is a heck of a lot better than 95% of the congress critters out there.

Surprised to see her step away after just two terms. Moms Demand / Everytown has run rabid anti-gun candidates in this district for every cycle I can remember voting in since I've lived in Fishers. Many of those races were pretty close. They must be salivating to hear this news. They will have a good shot at taking this seat for the dems.

That's the problem. The 2020 race was way too close. It will be a challenge now that there is no incumbent in the next race.

I don’t have that much interest.
